We can see that

Slope\ of\ AB=Slope\ of\ BC=Slope\ of\ AC

The given points are on same line.

Further explanation:

There are two methods to find if the given points are on same line

  • The slope method: If the points are on same line the slopes of two pairs of points will be same
  • Area of triangle method

Given points are:

A(1,3) B(4,2) C(-2,4)

We will find the slope of AB, BC, and AC

So,

m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

Slope\ of\ AB=\frac{2-3}{4-1} \\=-\frac{1}{3}

Slope\ of\ BC=\frac{4-2}{-2-4}\\ =\frac{2}{-6}\\=-\frac{1}{3}

Slope\ of\ AC= \frac{4-3}{-2-1} \\=-\frac{1}{3}

We can see that

Slope\ of\ AB=Slope\ of\ BC=Slope\ of\ AC

The given points are on same line.

shopkeeper purchased a bicycle for rupees 5000 and marked its price a certain percent above the cost price then he sold it at 10
Gennadij [26K]

Lets say the final price of the bike is SP plus 13% VAT. So:

1.13 * SP = 6356.25

SP = 5625

Now SP was after 10% discount on Original Price, say MP. So:

0.9 * MP = 5625

MP = 6250

Therefore, the percent of Marked Price above Cost Price is:

(6250 - 5000) * 100/5000 = 25%
